Huntinglink’s precinct selection of Huntingdale is influenced predominantly by the suburb’s lack of connectivity to its surrounding suburbs as well as the potential anticipated in improving the overall character of the place. Since there is forecasted population growth in conjunction with the existing potential of the suburb, Huntingdale precinct structure plan is helpful to improve the quality of life in Huntingdale.

Hungtinglink acknowledges local Aboriginal Indigenous Australians, admitting the land now known as Monash was custodied by the Wurundjeri people and Boon Wurrong clans of the Kulin Nations as the initial keepers.

Huntinglink is a studio project for Urban Precinct Studio, a capstone subject from Urban Planning and Design, a major of the Bachelor of Environments in University of Melbourne.

Huntinglink is a project that aims to improve livability of Huntingdale through holistic approach to community growth and urban renewal development. By considering land-use improvement, community strengthening and better transport network, thus to improve the quality of life of residents in Hungtingdale.

4 History

Huntingdale is a residential and industrial based suburb. Urban renewal plan in Hungtingdale have been listed on Metroplolitan Planning Strategy, particularly near Huntingdale Road and North Road. Currently, there is investigation on the potential of converting declining industries to another land use suit for long term development in City of Monash.

Huntingdale originally known as Oakleigh East. Before the European arrival, the original inhabitants in City of Monash were the Bunurong Aboriginal people. Since 1840s, there was European settlement as a grazing run was founded in the Scotchmans Creek area.

Huntingdale currently shares a train route extending out to Pakenham from Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CBD. Hungtingdale is a major public transport transit hub to Monash University. It has frequent trains (Pakehham line zone 2) connected with bus service to Melbourne, Dandeong, Pakenham and Monash University.

The local Post Office opened on 1918, 2 years before the opening of Huntingdale Railway Station. The Huntingdale golf club, one of the major features in City of Monash, was established in 1924 (Huntingdale Golf Club 2010). The suburb experienced rapid growth after the railway station establishment in1920s.

Since mid of 1990s, the population has been increasing steadily in Huntingdale due to new residential development.

5 Character Huntingdale gives off an overall family friendly vibe, which is predominantly attributed by the well-maintained amenities and overall open atmosphere of the suburb. Conversely, the openness of the Huntingdale also caused an empty characteristic to develop throughout the site. Along the northern part of Huntingdale Road, the main commercial strip, there is a diverse multiplicity of shops ranging from local cafes to national franchises. This correlates and adds to the culturally diverse aspect and character of the suburb.

Figure 7. Huntingdale Road, a local street with shops and restaurants (Choi, 2017)

Another notable characteristic of Huntingdale Road was the consistent architectural forms prevalent throughout. For example, the fluro green communal benches that stood out along the local street contributed to the welcoming vibe, while also creating a practicality factor as they can be used for multiple purposes, i.e. eating lunch or waiting at the bus interchange.

The selected boundary contains a combination of residential, industrial, retail/commercial, public/special use and road land use zones. The diversity of the current land use within Huntingdale demonstrates that it is a very active and populated suburb which is why this is a major contributing factor to significantly improving the connectivity between its surrounding suburbs.

1.2 Economics Employment Huntingdale is currently sitting at a 91.8% employment rate with the top 3 industry sectors being Retail Trade at 11%, Healthcare and Social Assistance at 10.7% and Education and Training at 10.2% (.id community 2011). Moreover, Barnes(2015) describes our site is currently sitting at rank 215th in Melbourne’s most liveable suburbs with the main users consisting of couples with one child, tertiary industry workers, teachers, students and industrial workers. This demonstrates multi-skilled workers are residing in Huntingdale and also some of the commercial and industrial districts are using these workers. Income Huntingdale’s weekly income has dissimilar trends with greater Melbourne, Greater Melbourne consists of 39.6% of its population earning $1000+, whereas well over half of Huntingdale’s population earns a weekly average of $1000+, sitting at 59.9%. Furthermore, the 2016 ABS statistics showed that 26.7% of Huntingdale’s population earns less than $1000, while almost half of greater Melbourne’s population at 49.2%, earns the same. This shows that majority of the residents in Huntingdale has well paying jobs. Finally, both Huntingdale and greater Melbourne share a similar ratio of 13.4% and 11.3% respectively, that earn no income at all and that unemployment exists however no signs of homelessness was recorded when studying this area.

Travel pattern Travel patterns are grouped into two categories; People travelling inside the City of Monash for work and people travelling outside. Around 70% of Huntingdale residents travel outside the City of Monash, while 30% stay within the local government area (.id community, 2011). This demonstrations that large proportion of the residents require long distance travel to work. Therefore, there is significant demand for public transport. According to PTV timetable (PTV 2017), Huntingdale has train departs in every 10 minutes on peak time while in every 20 minutes on non peak time. Moreover, the average bus frequency on Huntingdale is every 20 minutes on peak time and every 30 minutes (at least) on non peak time. The estimated travel time to Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CBD by car is at least 35 minutes, while public transport would take approximately 50 minutes exclude the waiting time. On the other hand, it is recorded by the Australia bureau of statistics (2016) that 86.6% own at least one car in Huntingdale and that 73% use it to commute to work. Therefore, most residents prefer the ease of driving out of Huntingdale rather than taking public transport as as car access relatively is more flexible although they may face traffic congestion on peak time.

Travel Expenditure Australia railway association (2013) reveals that the people commuting to work via car spend $10,830 using their private vehicle per year, while the people that own a car but commute by public transport spend $4,794 and the part of the population that just utilizes public transport spends $2,158 annually. Since the median annual income in Huntingdale per household is $80,184 in Huntingdale (Australia bureau of statistics 2016).This illustrates that a household approximately spends 13.5%, 5.9% and 2.7% of their annual income for commute to work in Huntingdale. Therefore, there will be a significant cost saving if residents are traveling to work by public transport rather than driving. Convenient transport is essential moving forward for satisfy the transport demand in Huntingdale.

The ‘commercial land use’ zones are located near the railway station, which provides easy access for public . In combination with suitable positioning along the main street, Huntingdale Road. We can see that the ‘public use – park’ zone is very small in the north-west region, which shows that the suburb offers very little green space for its community.

A lot of the industrial area appeared abandoned and unused. Currently, Huntingdale has been rezoned to be part of the Metropolitan Planning Strategy (MPS); designed to investigate and convert unused industrial areas into urban renewal precincts. This is the reason a lot of Huntingdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industrial buildings are unoccupied at the moment (Herald Sun 2013). The redevelopment area will be focus on how to facilitate the community growth.

Huntingdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current building density ranges from 1 storey to buildings up to 3 storeys tall. 42% of the current building infrastructure are 3 storey tall while 38% are 2 storey building. From the map, it is evident that most of the three-storey buildings outlined are in the industrial zones whereas the two-storey are more residential. The fact that two-storey buildings are in more residential land use areas correlates with the top two household types; being a couple with a child at 33.5% and a couple at 22.9%. These two household types would most likely inhabit a two-storey home. Also, the rest of 20% of 1 storey houses are likely residential townhouse.

The chosen AOI consists of several minor roads which connect up to the main roads in the area, Huntingdale Road and North Road. For example, Edward Street and Fenton Street have busy traffic in day time from observation. The main roads are creating a traffic barrier on the site.

Compared to all these parking spaces, the amount of public open space is completely overshadowed with Jack Edwards Reserve being the only open space in the area.

Street lighting There is more pedestrian activity where there is greater lighting. Huntingdale’s minor roads suffer in terms of street safety with lackadaisical lighting available making users afraid to walk through in the night. Even during daytime with the backdrop of multiple houses or factories it’s not a vibrant area to walk through.

D Analysis

3 Issues & Opportunities Summary Delving from these issues and opportunities, three key themes can be established which are Development, Transport and Social Well-Being.

3.1 Development Due to existing land use development and traffic, key issues in Huntingdale is mainly related to the segregation of the north and south part of Huntingdale. The existing train line and the busy traffic on north road bridge created a barrier for pedestrian access on ground from the north and south of the site. This discouraged pedestrian to walk around the site. Moreover, another factor contributes to the inactive environment in Huntingdale is the separation of land use. Majority of industrial land use are located near the transport hub, where currently most daily users will pass by, and some of the industrial buildings are abandoned with little of public green space. As a result, the ineffective utilitzation of industrial land use not only decreasing the incentive for visit in

38 Huntingdale Structure Plan 2017

Huntingdale, its also become an obstacle affecting Huntingdale economic development. To activate Huntingdale, mixed use environments can improve social interaction, particularly higher density development next to public transport infrastructure is crucial for provide affordable and convenient housing. Also, the urban renewal project in industrial area is another good opportunity to reinterpret the use of land in Huntingdale, which more public use land and mixed use land are expected than pure industrial land. Further, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also allow a chance for Huntingdale to recognize its new cultural and social possibility.

3.2 Acess & Movement The major obstacle in Huntingdale is the car dependence living culture. Vehicle dominated streets and parking occupies the surrounding area of the public transport interchange resulted in an unfriendly, inactive environment for pedestrian and cyclist. Moreover, the current transport interchange for train and buses service are poorly connected with insufficient amenities. Not to mention the low frequency and insufficient options of bus serveries. These are all factors that discourage the use of public transport. To create an accessible and connected environment in Huntingdale, the busy traffic should consider to be less priorities in local movement. Reconsidering lowering traffic zone as well as alternative use of parking land use are some opportunities. On the other hand, improving the connectivity of public transport services and establish additional public transport method helps encourage the use of public transport.

D Analysis

3.3 Social Well-being The lack of public open space and amenities in Huntingdale is greatly associated to the empty and inactive sense of space. The existing public open space as well as the streets does not provide sufficient amenities for users to enjoy the walking experience. Especially the poor pedestrian service due to lack of pedestrian lighting, crossing and seating discourage pedestrian activities. Moreover, the poor amenities for cyclist is another issues that discourage cyclist activities in Huntingdale. Therefore, the opprotunities to improve Huntingdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social well-being is to improve the public open space and amenities. Improve the permeability and amenities in public open space, meanthile proposing additional public open space is crucial for social interaction and public health. Moreover, adding adequate pedestrian and cyclist amenities higher the incentive for walking and cycling in Huntingdale.

BENCHMARKS

Copenhagen City of Copenhagen is a city best known as green mobility friendly. Supported by urban policy since 1990s, the city has been successfully transform from a car dependency city to a bicycle and public transport friendly city. For example, in 2016, Copenhagen have 5 times more bicycles than cars. This illustrate a success of changing living habits of people through urban design and planning. In 2017, there is 41% and 5% of people travel to work by bicycle and walking respectively, In the meantime, 30 % of people taking public transport to work. Only 24% of people commute by car. Further, according to the City of Copenhagen (2017), Copenhagen aims to increase the percentage of commuters who take public transport to at least 30% and cycling to at least 50%. City of Copenhagen is a remarkable benchmark for Huntinglink to develop another effective transit oriented neighborhood in Huntingdale. Thus, to reshape Huntingdale to a place that friendly for walking, cycling and public transport.

3 URBAN DESIGN FRAMEWORK 3.1 DEVELOPMENT

Objective 1: To shift focus to mixed use development through urban renewal Huntingdale is changing from an industrial and residential based suburb to a tertiary services and residential based suburb. The need of Huntingdale to reconsider its land use distribution is vital for its future development. Higher density mixed use development helps to create vivid place for both work and habitat. Aiming to become a more vibrant and friendly area for new industries set up in the City of Monash, in the meantime, providing additional job opportunities and housing choices to residents are the major focus of Huntingdale in the future.

52 Huntingdale Structure Plan 2017

Overview Land use throughout the activity area will predominately accommodate higher densities apartments and commercial buildings. The higher density area provides affordable student accommodations and innovative industries workspaces to residents and workers. Moreover, mixed use development is the focus in redevelop area. To enhance pedestrian street life, North Road and South part of Huntingdale Road traffic will subtract underground. In the meantime, train line will elevate thus to remove main physical barriers on the site. Buffer zone will establish to separate industrial and residential area, so to improve residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quality of life.

3.2.1 ACCESS & MOVEMENT

Objective 2: To create well connected public transport system Huntingdale is a major transport hub connecting to some of the landmarks in City of Monash, such as Monash University Clayton Campus, Huntingdale Golf Reserve, the quality of public transport system determines the experience of residents and visitor. Clear and Integrated public transport hub provide convenient and efficient transit service for commutators. It can encourage the incentive of using public transport in Huntingdale thus, shaping Huntingdale become a green mobility friendly neighborhood.

62 Huntingdale Structure Plan 2017

Overview Public transport within Huntingdale is currently infrequent and lack of connectivity. The existing sercices are not attracted for most of the residents to use. Although majority of the residents work outside of City of Monash (see E. Analysis p.31), people choose to drive rather than using the public transport service in Huntingdale. The proposed public transport hub will provide a connected public transport network for convenience transit. Transport hub will locate right next to the train station and are close to the active streets and public spaces and facilities. More efficient and frequent bus and train services will attract users. Moreover, a new additional tram line linking Oakleigh activity centre, Hungringdale Station and Monash University will establish to carry commuter capacity for future growth.

Overview

Objective 3: To provide easy walking and safe cycling environment

To transform Huntingdale a pedestrian and cyclist friendly neighborhood, amenities are vital to improve walking and cycling experiences. After the road change for car on North Road and elevated railway, the ground level of the site, especially near the public transport hub, communal facilities and active streets will be free for walking and cycling. Pedestrian priority area will either restrict car access or limit car traffic speed.

Connectivity is the key in improving the walking and cycling experience in Huntingdale. The current segregation of the north and south of Huntngdale should be resolved through roads change. Also, to provide a safe and comfortable places for pedestrian and cyclist can attract residents and visitor being active on the site. Improve accessibility and mobility of the site by amenities is an important intention to attract people to move around on foot or by bike in Huntingdale.

70 Huntingdale Structure Plan 2017

Also, adequate road crossing and street lighting ensure safe access in Huntiingdale. Permeable bike lanes will establish in the site and linking different new communal infrastructure and active streetscape.

PRECINCT 1.Transit hub in City of Monash 2. Population growth 3. Demand for public transport 4. Diverse community

New Public Facilitie for Community Community Garden & Green Walkway Huntingdale faces various issues such as un-utilised land, vehicle dominated streets and lack of public open space. These, through the Huntinglink precinct plan, turns these matters into opportunities whether it be more connected streets, integrated efficient public transport and added communal facilities.

Within the City of Monash, Huntingdale has become a community focused hub for social interaction and prides itself in its communal infrastructure and vivid street life. Huntinglink connects Huntingdale with Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CBD and south-eastern suburbs using more efficient public transport methods with the addition of a tram line.

Huntinglink transforms Huntingdale into a warm and vibrant community focused suburb. Using key themes and objectives, the streets of Huntingdale are transformed from implying a quiet and dull vibe to lively, vibrant and active streetscapes. In turn, the new flourishing suburb of Melbourne is Huntingdale.

All in all, Huntinglink improves the livability of Huntingdale and facilitate the community growth.
